Whaaaat haha I'm shocked that it was unanimous. Poor caldwell, he did better but really needs a more aggressive mindset

Vicious. Nikita Mikhailov prevented his training style tonight.
Correct again, Acertar na mosca.

Don't be a sore loser, I thought for sure I picked it wrong.
You just picked wrong and were too confident about it

I think Lara being a favorite is the dumbest thing ever, and I think she's gonna be the second person on this card to enter a 4 fight losing streak, but I hope I'm wrong. Diana missed weight so we'll see if that affects her
